they all have mouths, and a form of a way to feel where they are going or legs.
What particular sensory structures does the organism have? What advantage exists for that specific structure? Are there similarities to structures found in the other organisms?
- The pig: eyes, nose, tongue, and ears. The advantages that exist for the pig would be it can hear so it could run if a predator was coming up behind. It can also see so it isn’t clueless to where it is. It can taste and smell things so it knows what to eat and what might be bad for it. The Crayfish: eyes, tail, antenna’s, and claws. The advantage of the crayfish would be it can see where it is going and feel with its antenna’s where too go. It can also get rid of predators, with its claws or scare them. Starfish: Mouth, suction cups and, arms.The advantages of a starfish would be it can suction to a side of a rock and not get washed away. It also can catch things with its mouth. 2. How has evolution been part of their survival? - Evolution has been part of their survival because they have to adapt to their surroundings. Their sensory structures have became more advanced so that they can adapt better to their surroundings. 3. Follow the taxonomy of each of the organisms from kingdom to species. -Pigs -Kingdom-Animalia -Phylum-Chordata -Class-Mammalia -Subclass-Theria -Infraclass-Eutheria -Order-Artiodactyla -Family-Suidae -Subfamily-Suinae -Genus-Sus -Crayfish -Kingdom: Animalia -Phylum :Arthropoda -Subphylum: Crustacea -Class: Malacostraca -Subclass: Eumalacostraca -Order: Decapoda -Suborder: Pleocyemata -Family: Cambaridae -Genus: Cambarus -Starfish -Kingdom: Animalia -Phylum: Chordata -Subphylum: Vertebrata -Class: Mammalia -Order: Primates -Family: Echinoderms -Genus: Gorilla -Species: Western Gorilla | Eastern Gorilla 4. What are their cousins? What is one of their past ancestors (extinct) of which they share something in common? -PIG: Babyrousa babyrussa (WART HOG) Same family just different body structure such as the regular pic wouldn’t have tusks as a wart hog would or another name would be “wild boar.” -CRAYFISH:P. clarkii (DIFFERENT KIND OF CRAYFISH) Same family they just are bigger. STARFISH: sea-urchin (COUSIN) both have arms or spikes and are somewhat round.
Question: Why is a pigs nose flat? A pigs nose if flat because they use the flat part of it to root around in the ground for food.
